Now a successful businessman. Made his name in Formula Atlantic, but Formula 1 was a flop and his long CART career is remembered more for his crashes than his speed. That said, he did have a good win, his only in Indy Cars, in Phoenix in 1986. Influenced to race by family friend Parnelli Jones, Cogan did very well in karting and Formula Atlantic before a surprise move to British Formula 1, in which he again impressed, before his career started to stall a little after failing to qualify for his Grand Prix attempts. He carried on racing until 1993 before moving into the business world.
